Danish Architecture Center Hosts the ‘Recycle!’ Exhibition

The Danish Architecture Center(DAC) is hosting the exhibition ‘Recycle!’ until September 10, showcasing ways to create a more sustainable environment. In this era of climate crisis, the need for better awareness of how we manage our environment and resources is more urgent than ever. The exhibition begins by asking how we can better conserve, reuse, and transform existing resources and ties together architecture, design, and everyday life under the themes of recycling and reuse. More than just a necessity, it provides a guide to adapting to the future with a fresh approach to how we create, live, and build.
In urban areas around the world, many buildings are demolished long before they outlive their usefulness. Concrete, brick, and wood are discarded like disposable goods, replaced by new materials. This wasteful ‘throwaway’ culture is deeply ingrained. Fortunately, a growing awareness of environmental issues has sparked a movement resisting this mindset. People are increasingly recognizing the value of reusing construction materials, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and the preservation of the Earth’s resources.

The exhibition highlights positive changes taking root in the construction industry and society at large. It introduces innovative architectural practices that focus on conserving existing structures and extending the life of resources we might otherwise discard. These approaches represent a circular society where life and architecture coexist harmoniously and sustainably. By reshaping our perceptions of beauty and value, the exhibition encourages us to appreciate how renewing old places and buildings can lead to meaningful stories and connections.
The examples showcased are not compromises but intentional choices for a better future. For instance, a Brutalist high-rise in Amager has been transformed into a massive eco-friendly hub capable of storing CO₂, while a dark bunker in Hamburg has been revitalized into a green, lively public square. Similarly, a once-abandoned fur industry building in Copenhagen now serves as a modern co-working space. Materials reused during these transformations embody more than just functionality—they carry a ‘recycled soul,’ merging sustainability with a unique narrative of the past.

Senior curator Victoria Diemer Bennetzen explains:
“We have to challenge the idea that new is always better. The building sector is one of the world’s largest consumers of raw materials, as well as one of the largest producers of waste. It’s about taking care of what we have already created, rediscovering the value of the things we usually throw out, and using it – again and again. It’s not about making sacrifices, but rather creating in a new way, finding a new fondness for things, and perhaps even preferring things that you would have otherwise overlooked or rejected,”
Every element of the ‘Recycle!’ exhibition has been meticulously cataloged, down to the smallest screws, to ensure traceability and reuse. The fixtures have been crafted from materials used in previous DAC installations. Even a piece from the past exhibition ‘Water is Coming’ has been repurposed as a rest area for visitors. This dedication to circular practices reinforces the exhibition’s overarching theme: that every resource, no matter how small, can find new life and purpose.
